Elon Musk's Luck Runs Out

Like, I don't want to stereotype here, but there are many, many studies and data points that we've reported on over the years that show that conservative leaning voters are more skeptical of electric vehicles than liberal leaning folks are. And that's a climate change thing. And it's also just like how they've been trained to view EVs over the years. So it's like, are you for EVs or not?

You want Elon to succeed, but you're not going to buy his car. You know, like, I have family in deep red Texas. And, you know, when we were down there recently, everyone was saying, oh, Elon's the best. He's great. He's, you know, cutting government waste. Like, okay, well, would you buy one of his cars? Absolutely not. No. So, like, that is a problem.

That is a problem with them being able to sell cars. And my personal theory is, the ultimate test of this ist das neue Model Y, das gerade rausgekommen ist. FĂŒr diejenigen, die es nicht wissen, und ich wette, es gibt viele Leute, die es eintragen, die das Model Y eintragen, ist es der bestsellerste EV der Welt. Einige Metriken zeigen, dass es der bestsellerste Auto der Welt ist.

Es gibt ein neues Auto, es sieht ein bisschen anders aus, die Spezifikationen sind besser, es hat mehr Reichweite, sie fixieren das Interieur, es ist schöner. All things equal, this should be the best-selling car in the world. Again, this should pull a repeat. And if this thing doesn't sell, if it has lousy, you know, it just went on sale now. So we're not going to know in the first quarter.

But if a Q2, Q3, Q4 rolls around and this thing is sitting on dealer lots, unsold, that is an existential problem for Tesla. That's a disaster moment for them. I think that would be the ultimate proof that they have totally alienated any potential buyers or fans that they might have once had.

Do you think that that is under threat, essentially? Yeah, and that's where the disconnect is, right? It's because the stock price at Tesla is all predicated on future stuff. It's solving autonomous driving, it's robo-taxis, it's artificial intelligence, which Musk has gotten really into in recent years. Es ist auch ein PrĂ€dikat fĂŒr Roboter. Sie sehen die Zukunft als Automation.

Es ist kein Fahrsales. Es ist kein Duken mit Nissan und Volkswagen ĂŒber Marktsteigerung. Er denkt nicht, dass das die Firma zu ihrem Trillionen-Dollar-Wert fĂŒllen wird und ihn zu den Sternen bringt und ihn irgendwann in seine Mars-Kolonie starten wird, wenn er nur Autos verkauft. Wenn wir darĂŒber sprechen, weshalb es so hoch ist, ist es nicht nur, weil Elon groß ist.

Es ist, weil Elon Musk in den letzten Jahrzehnten persönlich versprochen hat, dass selbstfĂŒhrende Autos, autonome Fahrzeuge, Robotaxis, etwa ein Jahr entfernt sind. Etwas, was er seit 2016 gesagt hat. Das ist der Wert der Firma. Das ist, wo all das Geld aufgefĂŒhrt wird. Es ist die Idee, dass diese Firma spezifisch selbstfĂŒhrende Autos lösen wird.
